I can't believe I almost forgot to show you Mini-mini-me's cake from her birthday party last month...
Isn't it a masterpiece! I just love her sense of color and form. I'm just sorry I didn't get a good picture before a slice was taken out!
The bakery where we had the party (Just Cakes) did an incredible job. They provided each girl with her very own cake to decorate. They were shown how to ice the cakes and then they were given a zillion pastry bags filled with prettily colored buttercream (the real deal!). Each bag had a different pastry tip, so they could experiment with making different shapes. The girls were also shown how to work with fondant and how to make buttercream roses...a little advanced perhaps, but if you look real closely, you might see Mini-mini-me's first attempt at a rose!
The girls all did a beautiful job and really seemed to enjoy "sampling" the buttercream. And if you think Mini-mini-me may have over-done it a bit with the icing, I can assure you that she showed more restraint than most. :-)
Happy Weekend!

Hi Jessica,
I've only just found your blog today while searching vintage millinery flowers at Google...in one of your past posts you went to Tinsel Trading and bought the most beautiful velvet forget me nots. I want some!! I've got to contact them and describe them. :0) And the metallic threads are just dreamy. I'm a sewer totally hooked on threads, fabrics, notions...everything!
I've enjoyed the little bit of your blog I've seen so far...it pops with inspiration and color...very nice, indeed. Do drop by for a visit when you are out and about...it's nice to meet you.
Sparkly Days to you,
Stephanie ♥
